As a successor of ZDoom 2.0.96x, you would expect ZDoom 2.0.98x to be another community build, wouldn't you? But the reality is different. There is other ZDoom-based port with the same (or very similar) purpose .96x had - GZDoom - you can find most recent bugfixes and engine additions in it.

What you can expect from .98x (and following versions)? It will be a package of my implemented ideas on how to improve ZDoom. If you like them, use them, if you don't like them, don't use them and shut up. You won't find any bugfixes in it (unless it's for my stuff). So it can be pretty much considered GrbZDoom...again. Back to the roots

Hopefully I will release first version soon, but right now I'm busy with school final exams .

So what do we have to expect?

There will be custom player classes in first release - I've already made it to usable state so you can expect it soon.

Hmm..since ZDoom 2.0.99's source is available, do you think I should base next version on .99?

I vote yes.

There's a lot of bugfixes in the current code - and it would make it easier to make your player classes official.

...and easier to add it to GZDoom

And I so desperately want player classes for a load of mods I've got ideas for but can't do yet.
